MED-HOC-NET 2012
11th Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop

Ayia Napa, Cyprus
19 - 22 June 2012

Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research community in the last several years, mostly because of the growing interest in a connected world, where people are - virtually - omnipresent. Next generation wireless networks, heterogeneous access technologies, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and new Internet technologies are part of this pervasive environment.

MED-HOC-NET 2012, as its previous 10 predecessors focuses on communication networking research, especially on new issues in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks, which include Application Scenarios, Data-centric Operation, Autonomous Organization, Optimization and Control, Operation under Intermittent Connectivity, and Service Creation and Support. The scope of the workshop also includes new and exciting challenges in wireless mesh networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, delay tolerant and opportunistic networks, and the opportunities provided or stemming from the social networks paradigm.

Call for Papers

Topics:

The papers solicited cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc, wireless, sensor, mesh, delay tolerant, and opportunistic networks, including but not limited to:

• Routing algorithms and protocols
• MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation
• Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks
• Middleware for ad hoc networks
• Application driven architectures and protocols
• Sensor network applications and protocols
• Vehicular networks
• Cognitive radio networks
• Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks
• Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes
• Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, etc.)
• Self-organization and network (re)configuration
• Optimization models and algorithms
• Resource and service discovery
• Energy-efficient networking
• Exploitation of social and mobility patterns for opportunistic networking
• Mobile social networks
• Security and privacy
• Positioning and localization
• Participatory and urban sensing
• Underwater wireless networks
• Green networking

Authors are invited to submit full papers written in English, of not more than 8 pages, including figures, tables & references in IEEE double-column format **. Submissions must present original work that has not been previously published, and is not under review elsewhere. All articles will be reviewed for scientific quality by the Technical Program Committee and external reviewers.

Papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format, on-line via the EDAS system.

* Important IEEE Policy Announcement: The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference, or if the paper proves to be a copy from others (non-original work), or it is substantially close to other work presented elsewhere by the same author(s).
